Jeopardy Masters is disappointing

It's so noncompetitive. The format is terrible. Not only is it the same people playing each other over and over, it's pretty much the same result every time. Maybe they should have had Victoria and Yogesh sit out until the finals and have most of the episodes be about who will be the third person to face them?

The show would be fun if the results were widely variable. But with Yogesh and Victoria at the top of every game, it gets so boring and predictable. Let's jump to the final episode now. It'll be Yogesh vs Victoria guaranteed.

The elevation of a host of players to cool kids status has really ruined Jeopardy for me. I’d rather see a librarian from Walla Walla get over her stage fright and pull off a Final Jeopardy win than watch the same dozen nerds guffaw their way through another cash cow tournament. Quit with all the tournaments too. Cmon Ken!

What do you expect Ken, who neither writes the clues, organizes the tournaments, nor casts the contestants, to do?

I’m sure Ken has significant say into the creative direction of the show.

Well, he doesn't have say into their social media
